Vincent Lustrinelli of Syracuse received his student pilot's license today, his 16th birthday, after learning to fly since he was 13. His parents, Giulio and Sophia, and his flight instructor, Gopinadha Kurup, surprised him with the required solo flight after what Vincent thought was just a routine lesson to Oswego County Airport. Vincent is flying a Piper Cherokee 140, a single-engine, 4-seater. Visit http://www.syracuse.com for more news and multimedia.

  • :))) good for you, nice solo!

  • @tripptytripper :(

    Some people will just try to exacerbate any situation they can!

    Those people are usually either jealous, or they just need something called a life. Here is an idea, GO TRY TO FLY AN AIRPLANE!! Just sayin...

    Nice video by the way.

  • @fspacerc1 what you talking about you chop, you are still 12 years old. Please do me a favor...every two months, will you please go to the toilet and pull your pants down. then check if you have pubic hair, when you get some, come back to me and we can have an adult conversation,,,stupid kid!!!

  • @tripptytripper thats cute i remember when i was 12 years old, had no self respest, and was jealous of people that spent their money on something their passionate about instead of pot

  • Good job! We have a lot in common. I started flying when I was twelve, and my dad bought me a 2003 Cessna 182 when I was thirteen, and I have been waiting to solo ever since. I am fifteen right now with a little over 150 hours, and I am sooo anxious to solo. Thanks for uploading this.
